Santa Ana winds will hit the Los Angeles area yet again this week, bringing extreme risk of rapid fire spread as the region continues to tamp out deadly wildfires that ignited under similar conditions earlier this month.

Another round of fire weather is expected to last for much of this week as residents return home to the Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods to inspect the devastation.

As wildfires rage near Los Angeles, claiming lives and homes, residents cling to hope for a wind shift. With damages projected to reach up to $275 billion, the devastation is immense, but a change in weather may offer a glimmer of relief amidst the chaos.
